IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Conversation with an ex years agoHer: 'Why don't you get a proper job instead of working in a supermarket'
Me: 'I'm trying to get a 'proper job', but I need to work in the meantime because I need money'
Her: 'Well still, why don't you move to London and then you'll have a better chance of getting a good job'
Me: 'Because I can't afford to live in London UNLESS I get a better job.'
Her: 'Well I haven't got a job and I live in London'
Me: 'Yes - but your dad BOUGHT you a flat'
Her: 'I don't see why that's relevant...'
Jesus wept...
Also, she kept badgering me to get a 'proper job', and her Mum was a professional alternative therapist.
